DEAR SIR Mr.. Henry John
son has submitted to me a copy OF
your paper of the Goth instant,
and invited my attention to certain
articles therein published, in
which reference Is made to him, re
questing an opinion as to your liza
ullity to legal proceedings by rea-
son of such publication.
He has also instructed me to
take such steps as in my opinion
are necessary and available
under the law, in order to secure
the discontinuance of the further
publication of such uncalled for
statements.
The object of this communica
tion is, therefore, to suggest the
improperly of making your paper
the vehicle of such llbellous articles
and to inform you that unless they
are discontinued, legal measures
will be availed of to secure that
end.
Your respectfully,
CHARLES KING,
attorney and Solicitor.

There is a talkative woman no

She is married, but she does not
fail to chin other womans hus-

She knows more about other peo-
pies business than she does about

Nothing can prevent Robert

the Negro pimp will be bounced.
The pimp of the Interior Depart

will be pressing bricks for Walker

All pimps should be made to

The time is coming when the
white people will have more use
for the Negro, than the Negro will
have for them.
1t will take Trotter from now un.

Jackson "FOr Rent.

The Jackson Advertiser printed the
truth about the effect of fanatical howl
ing papers on Jackson. and it was so
startling that the Jackson Ledger de-
manded the proof. The Advertiser said
a hundred houses in that little place,
are for rent, and the Ledger declared i,
could not find fourth of that number.
The Advertiser says 1t has list of a
hundred houses for rent, which is open
to the inspection Of the public It is
certainly startling declaration, for
there are not very many houses in jack
son. However, the way things are there,
it would not surprise us to see the whole
town "for rent" and the capital moved

fanatics with shirt,tail full Of type, aud
the help of Brother Gambrell, can giv,s

| You spoke in your last issue Of the
great contentment and satisfaction
now existing among the negroes
and the way and manner in which They
are working and acquiring property.
Your statement is fully and ably borne
out by that well established jonInal, the
Memphis Appeal, of the 3rd inst. We
indore the article in the main as true
and correct. We feel that we voice the
sentiments of our race when we speak in
terms Of praise for what you have said
The negro will become better satisfied
and contented and more industrious aa o.
whole, if the good white people Of o5r
commonwealth will give them credit ~.
the good they do and continue to IN ~
them as citizens in the future. Let the,
negro feel that when he goes into the
courts Of this State that he doesn't go|
into a court of superiors or interiors, but
he goes into court of equals, and that
there his rights are respected irrespective
of color and previous condition of servi,
tude. TIE negro is compelled to conceed
that he owes the land owners of this
STATE debt Of gratitude that will never
be forgotten. especially when we consid.
o. the good they have done in estab'isks
ing institutions of learning all over this
broad land, in addition to the Thousands |
of primary schools established every |
where for the intellectual advancement |
of our race paid for out of their pockets |
by direct taxation.
This we say is kind and good, and the |
colcred people are not blind to these
things. We only ask for equal protection
under the flaws Of this country in COM
mon with all men. We don't seek for
any further recognition only in business
way, for we recognize the fact that he
who presides over the destiny of nations
has made two distinct races, and we are
willing to leave them to work out their
own destiny according to. their several
abilities.
